Comment on average number of parts in a fighter aircraft? by strech

Zack-Attack is probably pretty close, if you’re talking about how many different part numbers
BUT, if you’re talking total parts, that might be another story.
Some part numbers (like attachments/fasteners used to attach skins to frames) could number in the 100,000’s.

Well the average fighter has about 163,403 parts. The F-15E is above this average because it has two engines so there are double the parts associated with the engine so it has 238,230 parts. Although, if you’re talking about the F-15E with the EPR gauges, then that number jumps to 238,312. However, the plastic model F-15E by Revell has significantly fewer parts; I’m not sure about an exact number but it is approximately 120 for the Level 2 and 200 for the Level 3. Did you really ask that question???

I have no idea what you are talking about.

There are no stick-things on the Cessna 172 that I fly.

Such as a Cessna Caravan has, it is a removable tail stand which indeed keeps the aircraft from flopping over while being loaded on the ground.

Tail stands. Twin Otters and DC-4s had ‘em. It looks as if the DC-10 and MD-11 ought to have ‘em, judging from all of those pictures out there of those airplanes sittin’ on their a$$es.

They are probably called landing gear, same as the main wheels. The B47 had them between the inboard engines, the B52 had them way out on the end of the wing, and the U2 had them just outboard of midspan.
